Fiona describes her character in Killing Eve ‘as a bag of monkeys, I don’t know what she’s up to.
‘That unknowability is key to her magnetism viewers are drawn to the MI6 boss
‘Who, in many respects, is a deeply unlikeable character – because’, says Shaw, ‘she’s mysterious.’
She knows a lot more than she lets on… She is sometimes playing a longer game than her behaviour might appear to show.
‘The personality needed to work in MI6 is not warm and cuddly. Because you have to be wary of everything everyone says to you’.
‘You also have to be very careful of what you say, how you behave and who you love. It makes for really good tension.’
